CARMENERE – CARMEN GRAN RESERVA APALTA 2017
Chile
$20.49
From the Alto Maipo region. The bouquet is fruity with plum, cherry, and mulberry notes, with aromas of a vegetable edge of ripe red pepper, with complex flavours of jam, spinach and chocolate. Barrel aging lends to pleasant smoky and toast notes, bringing out its spices; texture is soft, with rounded tannins and medium body. The perfect wine to enjoy with full-flavoured red meats such as lamb, ribs and beef with spicy sauces.
COTES DU RHONE BLANC – MEFFRE SAINT VINCENT
France
$17.99
Apricot and floral aromas are reminiscent of white flowers on the nose of this wine, while the palate has more orchard fruit and pineapple with lime acidity
CABERNET SAUVIGNON – WENTE SOUTHERN HILLS LIVERMORE 2017
USA
$18.99
$19.99
On Sale (until May 2)
This Cabernet Sauvignon shows a rich crimson colour with purple highlights. Hints of cedar and violets can be found on the nose while it exhibits flavours of cherry, dark plum and a hint of coffee. Rich, yet approachable tannins provide a long, smooth finish. This a great partner with roasted and grilled meats, or fuller-flavoured fish such as salmon and Ahi tuna.
BROUILLY – CHATEAU DE PIERREUX 2018
France
$21.99
91 Points, James Suckling: “Aged in foudre. This has attractive stony and floral accents, as well as a very fragrant and a meaty edge. Superfine tannins with an attractive granitic cut. Drink or hold.” (February 2018)
